rubbermaid trash bins. i like their round shape. the rectangle bins bow out and aren't as strong.

as for preparation I just rinse them thoroughly with hot tap water. I'm afraid of adding any bleach or such to clean them.

When first got new, washed with a scrub brush and a little bleach. Since then just rinse with tap water.

Rubbermaid makes a 120 liter trash can with wheels; makes it easy to move around. Can find them at Can. Tire or Wal-Mart

Rubbermaid "Brute" trashcans are awesome. They come in different sizes up to ~55 gallons and are very solidly built - well worth the extra $ over the flimsier standard plastic cans/tubs.
